       5. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the performance data is one of a video, an audio, an image, and a text. 
     
     
       6. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the performance data or the control data is provided by using a physical storage medium. 
     
     
       7. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second cheering lighting devices pre-store only the group information about a particular group, to which each of the first and second cheering lighting devices belongs, for each scene in advance before directing the performance, and the first and second cheering lighting devices do not pre-store the emission state information before directing the performance, and
 wherein the emission state information including group-specific lighting color information is transmitted to the first and second cheering lighting devices during the performance is demonstrated. 
 
     
     
       8. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first cheering lighting devices receive ticket information through smart devices of audiences, receive the group allocation information mapped onto the ticket information through a wired/wireless communication module, and stores the received group allocation information.
